Shiloh UMC receives new pastor recently

The folks at Shiloh United Methodist Church have recently been blessed with the assignment of a new pastor. The Rev. Dave Kelley and his wife, Sheryl, moved into the parsonage just a few weeks ago. Please help them feel welcome in the Reeds community and come out to the 10 a.m. Sunday worship service to hear one of Dave's inspiring messages.

The Reeds Children's Ministries just finished a wonderful Vacation Bible School event. This was a collaborative project of Shiloh, Reeds Baptist, Friendship United Methodist and Reeds United Methodist churches. Over 150 participants were present each night for learning, fun, and fellowship. Thanks go out to each of the volunteers from all of these churches.

After taking the summer off, Shiloh's UMW and UMM groups will be serving up another buffet breakfast on Sept. 7 from 6 to 10 a.m.

With the "dog days" of summer upon us, everyone in the community is invited to bring the kids out to enjoy Shiloh's shaded playground, which is located behind the family life center.

Swim-a-thon takes place at swim club

A memorial scholarship was created in memory of Griffin Owen in 2012. Reeds Community Swim club members and Griffin's family held the first swim-a-thon in August 2012. They decided to make the swim-a-thon an annual event held each year the first Saturday in August.

Visit the Reeds Community Swim Club on Saturday after 8 a.m. Events include face painting, splash contests and lap swims. All proceeds are used to sponsor a family membership to the club and swimming lessons and membership to the swim team for the sponsored children.

The cost is $6. For more info you can contact the club at 787-5010. There is also a website you can visit www.swim4griffin.com.
